The Carbon Fibre Lightweight Rooftop Tent by Inspired Overland is the lightweight setup covering all grounds for off-track overnighters!
Boasting a stand-out yet streamlined design, its hardshell carbon fibre lid combined with a carbon fibre and aluminium frame overdelivers on strength while keeping its weight low. A tough 2000D waterproof Polyester Oxford main fabric is UV-protected to prevent damage from harsh Aussie summers - heat-sealed and double-stitched for ultimate strength and butt-kicking durability - while the included rainfly withstands the wetter weather. From the hazy mornings to the hot nights, heating and cooling ducts facilitate diesel heaters and air-conditioners while high-density tulle windows offer both breathability and ventilation.
With multiple exterior entry points ensure easy access and exit, an included self-inflating air mattress and anti-condensation pad offer comfort and convenience, while two large built-in storage pockets feature removeable shoe bags to keep the hiking kicks intact overnight. Hit new heights with the included telescopic ladder with adjustable raises too - plus, a T-slot mounting base with exterior T-slots lend themselves to mounting accessories for true versatility on every outdoor adventure.
The Inspired Overland Carbon Fibre Lightweight Rooftop Tent blends a slender build with ultimate outdoor durability.

This is great to see - as I have a smaller SUV and my options are limited. Thanks for the demo Ben.
I'm glad you found it useful, thanks for your comment. ~ Ben
Good demo Ben. The cover is a novel ideal. Though for me it will be wasted as I have fixed solar panels mounted on my RTT. The fly screen should be on the outside. I really like how slim and lightweight it is.
The low profile design and minimal weight are the draw-card for this tent. I can't imagine many people bothering with the cover though. ~ Ben
Sweet there here!!! Been looking at this for the Jimny
Would be a great combo
~ Lauren
So good
Something innovative. ~ Ben
I'd love something like this for my little VW Polo but I think it would be bigger than the car. Should get myself a cheap little 2 x 4. Thanks Ben, awesome review.
Definitely too big for a Polo - Compact car camping gear is a great option, I can camp with family of 4 out of my Golf.

The ladder not storing inside is a deal breaker for me, otherwise a really great design. Ive got the original and ill stick to that because the ladder, two pillows, sheets, and blankets easily store inside. I just wish i could add roof bars to it. I thought of uprgrading, but not having the ladder inside is a very silly design choice.
In the interest of keeping roof load weights down and profiles low, more lightweight tents are being produced with the ladder stowing separately inside the vehicle. Inspired Overland's focus is weight, so the decision to stow the ladder separately was intentional. ~ Ben
Hi guys great video, and interesting product. I am looking at something similar, but at around 11.32 in the video, I notice a gap between the 2 clamshells, is this normal when the tent closes, as this would be prone to water and dust entering?
There is a little gap when you pack all the bedding inside, something to be aware of. However, if you were to use a pump and compress the self inflating may first you wouldn't have the same gap. ~ Ben
It looks small. The bug screen is inside out.
It’s super light, I did consider this last year pre-order. But for $2500 & you still need a protective cover 😞 the 1st Gen let rain in during heavy rain. Had to do a hard pass. I went with the 140lbs top bee RTT for $1106 after taxes free shipping. I put it on my truck by my lonesome, not too heavy.
Looks can be very deceiving. We suggest to get a masking tape and lay out our dimension on the floor. At 86x52 that’s pretty roomy.
They won't suit everyone, the lightweight, low profile design is the big draw-card of these. They also look sweet and have space for a couple or plenty of space for a solo adventurer. ~ Ben
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We designed the door setup to prioritize privacy, airflow, and minimize water, dust, and dirt accumulation on the netting. Outside netting can present more challenges, particularly during severe wind and rain storms. The current door design offers more advantages in these conditions.
We greatly appreciate customer input, as it is integral to our design process. As both the designers and manufacturers, we take all feedback seriously. This tent evolved from suggestions on our original design, which we now refer to as the entry-level or starter tent. Thank you for your continued support and insights
Not a fan. There's a outside lip where the canvas run into the bottom hard shell. Is this going to catch water and seep into the tent? I reckon it will.
I can't see this being a problem there are drain holes and the fabric is all seam sealed. ~ Ben
No, rainwater will not become trapped or seep through the cover. It has been specifically designed to allow water to be directed downward by gravity, ensuring effective drainage. Additionally, the interior fabric is positioned slightly higher than the outer frame, preventing any water from entering the tent. Thank you for your insightful question.
All these guys reviews are the best . Well done ben and the team. Any products I want reviews on, I always search you guys first.
👍
I'm glad you find them useful, Mick, thanks for your feedback. ~ Ben

Check out 11:24 on the Features video, ben is 6ft 1 and runs through the fit

THE BEST tutorial on this CF RT from IO thus far. Bravo mate!!!
Thanks, I appreciate the kudos. ~ Ben
Ben.....great work! All of the information I needed and none that I didn't. Bang up job.
Thanks for your feedback. ~ Ben
I went with their soft top tent ($999.95 USA) as I didn't want to have a RTT which needed a cover on it. That's one of the main reasons I passed on a soft top RTT, that and it being very bulking, thus killing MPG's. After watching a slew of videos many folks said taking the cover off and putting in back on a soft top was a pain. I get it that you want to protect the carbon fiber. but putting on and taking off a cover sort of defeats the purpose. Anyway, to each their own.
Thanks for the feedback

The tent cover serves a crucial purpose for storage. In response to consistent customer requests for a dedicated storage solution for our rooftop tent (RTT), we developed an outer/storage cover. The carbon fiber (CF) top of the RTT already features UV protection, similar to that found on vehicles with carbon fiber roofs. To further enhance the protection of the carbon fiber surface, we recommend applying a paint protection film (PPF). This additional layer will safeguard against scratches and environmental factors, ensuring the longevity and appearance of the RTT.
